明清时期,士绅是地方社会重要的阶层,他们与地方官吏联系紧密,拥有国家认可的权力,是地方社会的精英,深受地方官吏的青睐;同时,他们来自地方,与百姓密切相关,备受百姓尊重。这种特殊的社会身份使得士绅在官吏和百姓之间充当起中介的角色。清人刘衡的《庸吏庸言》更是体现出了士绅在地方社会中的具体作用。
In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the gentry were the important social strata of local society. They were closely linked with the local officials and had the power recognized by the state. They were the elites of local society and were favored by local officials. At the same time, they came from places closely related to the people and prepared Respected by the people. This special social status allows the gentry to act as an intermediary between officials and people. The “vulgar mean of janitors” by Liu Heng in Qing dynasty shows the specific role of gentry in local society.
